Bill > HR2332

This bill, known as the SHARE Act of 2025 (States Handling Access to Reciprocity for Employment Act), authorizes the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to provide criminal history record information to state licensing authorities through state law enforcement agencies or identification bureaus. The bill specifically allows the FBI to share criminal history information for interstate compacts related to professional licensing background checks, with strict limitations on how that information can be used. State licensing authorities are prohibited from sharing the detailed criminal history information with other entities or the public, though they can report a binary (yes/no) determination of whether an applicant's background check was satisfactory. The bill defines key terms like "criminal history record information" (which includes arrest records, charges, and dispositions) and "license" (any authorization to practice an occupation or profession). The legislation aims to facilitate professional licensing across states while maintaining strict privacy protections for individuals' criminal history details, ensuring that such information is used solely for the purpose of determining professional licensing eligibility.
